Document Summary
Lecture 13: suppressive neural mechanism: perception to intelligence. Background & initial findings: done mostly in the mt area, you present different stimuli sizes to the neurons to track their neurophysiology, a key element in neurophysiology studies, the neuron would shut down for larger stimuli sizes. * object motion is more important than background motion * Perception and iq: founders, a basic mental process that underlie everything the brain does, high iq is characterized by, faster and less variable reaction time, quicker inspection time, but a very weak line, ~10-15% Parallel visual pathways: ventral: object perception and recognition, dorsal: locations, directions, interaction with objects. Incorporates m cells and p cells: m pathways parietal cortex ( where", p pathways temporal cortex ( what", damage to the parietal lobe, stroke leads to visual neglect. 1 side not included in the drawing. You still have normal vision: interested in the spatial layout. Of the present and memories: it is a problem of consciousness/attentions.
